Thor: Ragnarok (soundtrack)

The soundtrack for the 2017 Marvel Studios film Thor: Ragnarok was primarily composed by Mark Mothersbaugh. It features a blend of orchestral scoring, electronic elements, and nods to 1980s synth music, reflecting the film's comedic and visually vibrant tone. Mothersbaugh aimed to create a score that was both epic and quirky, complementing director Taika Waititi's unique vision for the Thor franchise.

The soundtrack incorporates familiar themes from previous Thor films, but also introduces new motifs for characters like Hela and Valkyrie. It utilizes synthesizers and electronic drums extensively, giving it a distinct, contemporary feel compared to earlier Marvel Cinematic Universe scores. Specific tracks often highlight action sequences with high-energy music, while more subdued cues underscore emotional or character-driven moments. The score has been generally well-received for its originality and its ability to capture the film's playful and energetic spirit. A commercial soundtrack album featuring selections from Mothersbaugh's score was released by Hollywood Records.
